About Curious About Oxford

Have fun discovering Oxford with two self-guided, heritage walks with an optional treasure hunt. Oxford is home to Oxford University, the oldest university in the country and the English-speaking world. Known as the 'city of dreaming spires', the ancient university colleges are scattered around the city, blending in harmoniously with all around them. Add to that the rich cultural heritage, world-famous museums, English parks and the River Isis with its punts for hire, and you have a city made for the dreams of those who visit. Buy or download a booklet then take our fabulous walks of discovery, and have fun finding answers to clues which tell you more, whilst reading our stories about the most interesting places.
